There are two ways to find or determine for the value of c. In the first method, we can use addition and subtraction to isolate the variable c from the other variables. In the second method, we can use the transposition of variables to isolate the variable c from the other variables.

So solving for the value of c:

Using 1st method: Addition and Subtraction

We are given:

240 = 6 z + c

Simply subtract 6 z on both sides:

240 – 6 z = 6 z + c – 6 z

Cancelling 6 z – 6 z on the right side:

240 – 6 z = c

or

c = 240 – 6 z

Using the 2nd method: Transposition

240 = 6 z + c

What we are going to do here is to simply transpose the variable 6 z from the right side to the left side of the equation so that we are left with c alone on the right side. Always remember that when we transpose, the symbol becomes opposite. That is:

240 + (- 6 z) = c

240 – 6 z = c

or

c = 240 – 6 z
